A fatal shooting on Sunday, January 11, 2026, has claimed the life of Adam Goss, age 30, of York, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred during the afternoon within or adjacent to a residence situated on the 900 block of East King Street, a neighborhood within York City.
Officers from the York City Police Department were dispatched at approximately 2:44 p.m. to the location following initial reports received as a cardiac arrest incident with an associated shooting. Upon entering the premises, they located Mr. Goss with a critical injury to his head. Despite lifesaving attempts by emergency personnel, he was declared deceased at the location a short time later.
An examination performed by the York County Coroner’s Office the next day formally classified the manner of death as a homicide. The confirmed cause was a solitary projectile wound to the head. Law enforcement personnel secured a handgun and a single spent 9mm casing from the immediate interior where the victim was found, suggesting the shooting was not indiscriminate.
Detectives ascertained that Mr. Goss and the alleged assailant, identified as 19-year-old Jeremiah Angel Beato, also of York, were previously acquainted. Information supplied by individuals present in or near the dwelling was instrumental in identifying Mr. Beato as the suspected shooter. According to filed affidavits, Mr. Beato departed the home on foot prior to the arrival of law enforcement. There was no direct engagement with officers at the scene.
Authorities issued a public notice for Mr. Beato on January 12, indicating he should be considered armed and posing a potential threat. The subsequent search concluded on January 13 when patrol officers apprehended him without resistance. He faces a charge of criminal homicide and is currently detained at the York County Prison pending formal arraignment. A specific motive has not been released by officials. The inquiry is continuing, and investigators encourage anyone with pertinent information to contact designated tip lines.
This lethal event was one of two distinct shooting incidents reported within York City that Sunday; the other, occurring on Vander Avenue and involving a wounded teenager, is not believed to be connected. Mr. Goss’s death has contributed to existing community apprehensions regarding firearms-related violence. Public reaction, as reflected in available accounts, has underscored the role of witness collaboration in facilitating a prompt arrest.
